Importantly, adhesion to E-selectin did not polarize BMDMs to one type of response but enhanced both arginase activity and nitric oxide production following IL-4 or LPS stimulation, respectively. In cultured human monocytes, adhesion to E-selectin similarly induced phosphorylation of AKT. Finally, when E-selectin was blocked in vivo in mice, thioglycollate-elicited macrophages showed reduced CD86 expression, validating our in vitro studies. Our results imply functions for E-selectin beyond homing and suggest that E-selectin plays an early role in priming and amplifying innate immune responses. Pharmacokinetic equations, which relate different parameters of a single individual, are often applied to reported mean parameter-values, with the aim of estimating the mean value of an unreported parameter. Due to population heterogeneity this approach generally leads to errors in their estimation. We provide details of this source of error. Our aim is to take into account the effects of population heterogeneity in commonly used pharmacokinetic models. This provides improved estimates and knowledge of the concentration of a drug in the plasma over time. Inequalities and approximations for corrected mean estimates are derived. These results are then applied to published clinical-trial data to illustrate their accuracy in practical situations. By using mean values within the pharmacokinetic equations for a single individual, we show that estimates of mean parameter values, for a variety of dosing regimens, generally have errors. Using published clinical trial data, we show that such estimates can systemaerage values, may provide a practical solution.The testis is a potential target organ for SARS-CoV-2 infection.
